DIVERSIFOOD final congress

10 - 12 December 2018

Couvent des Jacobins, Center of Congress in Rennes, France

This event is the final congress of DIVERSIFOOD (2015-2019), an EU project. Its results and key lessons will be shared, covering 5 key concepts connected with crop diversity for resilient sustainable food systems:

Underutilized/forgotten crops: multi-actor and on farm evaluation

New approaches of plant breeding for diversified and sustainable farming systems

Community biodiversity management

Diversity and sustainability within food systems: new relationships among actors

Paradigm shift for muti-actor and transdisciplinary research

This scientific Congress will be opened for external oral speakers and/or poster presentations, to better connect sister projects and researches with DIVERSIFOOD outputs.

This congress will provide inputs to shape DIVERSIFOOD messages for the future, on how to better embed crop diversity for resilient sustainable food systems and move toward a real socio-ecological transition.
